2 Things To Get The Interior Of Your House Ready For Professional Painters

If you are getting ready to get the interior of your house painted, there are some things that you are going to need to do to make sure that your painters are going to be ready to go and that your paint job is going to turn out as well as possible.

Find a Place for Your Pets

If you have pets, you may want to make sure that you have a place for them to go while the painters are there. There are several reasons for that. One is that your pets may get very protective of your house and harass the painters, which will slow them down and case all kinds of problems. Another reason is that your pet may be sensitive to the fumes from the paint, so getting them out of the house for a few days or at least during the day will get them away from those fumes. A third reason is that pets shed; it doesn't matter if it's feathers or fur, your pets sheds, and that gets everywhere, including on the fresh paint on your walls.

Clean the Walls

You will also want to make sure that you clear all the decorations off the walls, including nails, screws, or any other hangers. That way the painter won't have to do that for you when they come in and paint your walls for you. After you take off all the decorations, you should clean the walls. There are a few things that you can do to clean off your walls. First, you are going to want to brush them with a dry cloth or duster. That will get all the dust and cobwebs off the wall. Then you will want to use some soapy water to get any dirt off. You will probably want to go and rinse the walls with clean water after you are done, just to make sure that there is no soap residue left on the walls which could attract any dust or make the paint not stick as well as it should.

If you want to change the feel of your house, one easy way to do that is to have professional painters come in and paint your walls for you. If you are going to do that, then you want to make sure that you have everything ready for the painters. That way your job will be done quickly and to the best of the painters' ability.

About Me

Two years ago, my husband installed new drywall throughout the house. After the drywall was hung, he did nothing more, so I was stuck looking at plain drywall for the last 24 months. I had begged and pleaded with him to figure out what he wanted to do to finish the walls and since I didn't get any answers or action, I took matters into my own hands. I started looking into my options for finishing those walls. I created this blog to help myself find the finishing technique that I wanted and to provide others with an easy to find solution to their unfinished walls.
